“…In this study, intention to quit smoking was higher with increasing age in women than in men, with higher muscle training frequency, and with higher weekly drinking frequency in people at an intermediate or a high risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (FRS ≥ 10%). These results are contradictory to previous findings on adults and older adults in public health centers in Korea, where men were more willing to quit smoking than women [ 21 , 22 ]. A previous review [ 23 ] of studies on cardiovascular risk assessment concluded that the predictive ability of a CVD risk score depends on the population being assessed.…”

“…, 교육수준이 높을수록, 월수입이 많은 자가 금연의도가 높았다 (Ryu, Shin, & Kang, & Park, 2011). 흡연관련 특성에서는 1일 흡연량이 적을수록 금연의도가 높았으며 (Ryu et al, 2011), 흡연시작 연령, 흡연 량 (Lee, Chung, & Kim, 2014), 금연시도 경험 (Marques-Vidal et al, 2011), 금연교육 (Ryu et al, 2011) (Kim et al, 2012;Marques-Vidal et al, 2011;Sieminska et al, 2008) 건강 행위인 금연은 음주와 관련성을 가지는 것으로 보고되었다 (Lee et al, 2014).

“…A higher proportion of those who lived alone and had a high awareness of the harmfulness of smoking reported an intention to quit smoking (33.3%). A previous study reported that smokers had a higher intention to quit smoking when they lived with their spouses [ 13 ]; however, it was difficult to compare them directly with this study because they did not report the smoking status of their spouses. These results show that policies to raise awareness of smoking harmfulness are urgently needed for female smokers living alone.…”

“…Therefore, to implement effective smoking cessation policies, authorities must understand the intention to quit smoking among smokers [ 12 ]. In studies on intention to quit smoking conducted in Korea, older female adults were reported to have a lower intention to quit smoking than their male counterparts [ 13 ]. In another study of female smokers, the chance of intending to quit smoking was higher in those who made previous attempts to quit smoking, had a high health-related quality of life, and had experience with smoking cessation campaigns [ 14 ].…”
